Serenity

The pearl swirl is ZVA and the pretty black flowers and opal brads are brand new Creative Charms.

The journaling is a poem by John Burroughs titled "Waiting" - I managed to fit most of it in, but did cut out one stanza:SERENE, I fold my hands and wait,Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea;I rave no more ’gainst time or fate,For, lo! my own shall come to me.

I stay my haste, I make delays,For what avails this eager pace?I stand amid the eternal ways,And what is mine shall know my face.

Asleep, awake, by night or day,The friends I seek are seeking me;No wind can drive my bark astray,Nor change the tide of destiny.

What matter if I stand alone?I wait with joy the coming years;My heart shall reap where it has sown,And garner up its fruit of tears.

The waters know their own and drawThe brook that springs in yonder height;So flows the good with equal lawUnto the soul of pure delight.
